After pregnancy, some pregnant women may be informed by doctors about low progesterone levels during prenatal check ups. If this issue cannot be resolved in a timely manner, it may also have an impact on the pregnant woman and the fetus in her womb. So, will low progesterone levels cause fetal arrest?
Firstly, prolonged low progesterone levels in pregnant women may lead to fetal arrest. In fact, progesterone is a hormone secreted by the female body. Its main function is to support early fetal growth and development. Therefore, if the progesterone level is too low, it can easily lead to fetal arrest or threatened miscarriage. The lower the progesterone value, the greater the chance of fetal arrest.
So pregnant women must pay enough attention to the issue of progesterone levels in early pregnancy. Once you experience lower abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding, it is important to promptly go to the hospital for examination. The examination mainly includes testing progesterone and HCG levels, and it is recommended to have an ultrasound to understand the fetal development.
If diagnosed with low progesterone levels, it is necessary to supplement progesterone in a timely manner and undergo fetal protection treatment. Moreover, low progesterone levels may not be solely the mother's fault, but could also be caused by the father's physical condition. Therefore, both spouses need to undergo the examination. During the treatment period, pregnant women should maintain an optimistic mood, maintain a good attitude towards life, and ensure reasonable rest time.
